Peter I just got off phone with Mr Fitzgerald of Fire Dept. I told him what happened with no fire inspection report of losing license & your sweet baby! He is looking into that NOW! I also said that she shouldnt lose her siblings & the only family she knows bevause of 1 piece of paper. I will stay on top of this. YOUR VILLAGE LOVES YOU & YOUR FAMILY!
Thanks for this!
You are a amacing and Kind person ❤
Thank you from Swizerland, can't understand the US System and the laziness of this FD. That's a shame.
All the Best for a fast reunion 🙏
@maryjarrell5824
Thanks for taking action ❤
Thank you for doing this
Wonderful, good on you
As a former foster parent, this makes me upset, You are the only dad she knows and she clearly loves you! I pray you get her back very soon!
Yes and that is sooooo traumatic for the child.
To be removed from the only family she knows and then returned is so confusing for her and unsettling.
I pray that she is able to be adopted by Peter and never have to go through anything like that ever again ❤
@daniellemonroe1242 Peter adopted her brother and sister, so I don't understand why not her
You are an amazing father and I'm sure Bella will be back with you all real soon ❤❤😢
@@SuperGigi06 maybe the parents rights aren't terminated for her yet because of her age.
This is NOT FAIR AT ALL. 😡 This breaks my heart for ALL of you. It's not fair to make her go back and forth, and she's with her other siblings. The system is so freaking broken. They let parents that abuse and neglect their children have more rights than loving and caring foster parents. I wish we could do something to help. BOO ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. 😡MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR YOU AND YOUR KIDS. I'M SO SORRY THAT YOUNS HAVE TO UNNECESSARILY GO THROUGH THIS. ((HUGS))
So, the authorities would rather traumatize a child, instead of expediting a needed fire inpection? The people in charge need to show more empathy towards foster children, this forced separation from her siblings and you, may cause permanent harm to this innocent child.
They need to be held accountable and never are.
That's just bloody disgusting. That poor child and man. Her poor siblings that also has to say goodbye. For now. I hope it didn't happen 😢.
This is really sad 😞
Sadly they send these kids back to horrible situations all the time. I cared for a young baby whose mother was a meth addict. She would not feed him regularly, supervise or care for the infant. She had numerous CPS complaints after he was bitten by rats as a newborn. They sent him back to her at 18 months without any proof of change on her part. The cops or child protective services could care less sadly. The cops even sent him back without a car seat. It’s unbelievably frustrating and heartbreaking.
If only they cared! They don’t care. You would think the Social Worker has some form of pull to ensure the child doesn’t have to be uprooted. Especially, over another government agency. This is totally unnecessary trauma on the little one and her older siblings. 😔
What an EMOTIONAL NIGHTMARE FOR THAT LITTLE GIRL!!!
2 WEEKS FEELS LIKE A LIFETIME FOR A LITTLE GIRL.
So sad.
Shame on the fire department. Expose them. They are supposed to save lives not ruin lives.
I can't believe they didn't expedite this.
@@lisam2496 - Perhaps after this video goes viral, they will do their job.
Thats what they are SUPPOSED to do! That whole community should learn to toyi-toyi like we do in South Afrika... AND let them meet the community in their terrain! This wickedness inflicted upon children MUST STOP! This DAD is a better dad than some pastors are to their children! 🙏
The fire department didn't come but the social care made sure they did! They could have called and delayed it!
Came here for this comment. Disgusting FD.
Isabella`s face 😭😭 , she is so concerned! Dear Lord please protect Bella and comfort her siblings & her dad.
Amen Amen Amen
Yes, In Jesus Name! 🙏🏽
She’s seriously about to cry!!!😭
That girl went through all stages of grief in 5 minutes. 😔
Amen. Praying she comes back very soon
How the heck does a 4 year old understand that she’s leaving the only family she knows?!!! This is appalling! 😡
Sad. May the good Lord always be with her.❤
I remember being four vividly
This makes me so sad
I thought she was 2
As a 64 year old woman I have never in my life been so upset on how our system uses kids as pawns. Even 1 day away from you and her siblings is devastating. Shame on you Fire Department.
I agree 💯 % with you, I got very upset too. It hurt me just thinking of her not knowing what is going on and where is daddy 🙏🏼
Whatbis wrong with the Fire Dept!! Did you explain how important this is ???
@@sharon314My heart is breaking. This stupidity is why I could never foster. Not even a puppy. I love children so much I can’t imagine what you and the children are feeling. It’s not fair to the baby girl who’s growing up so sweetly. God bless you all. ❤❤❤❤
I'm 56F and did secretarial/admin work most of my life. NOBODY does it right, any more! It's like in one generation everybody COMPLETELY FORGOT how to manage the most simple administration.
It's annoying enough but with implications like this it is downright sickening.
It's everywhere, too, private companies, public services. All of them Stoopid and willing to spend more time and money to NOT get something done than just do the simple management.
This is criminal that the fire department's inaction is causing the children so much trauma.
Shame on the FIRE DEPARTMENT!!! THEY'RE GONNA TRAUMATIVE THAT BABY!!!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
If anyone is protesting, THIS is where they should be protesting! Someone dropped the ball and they need to be held accountable.
The fire department should be held accountable when they should've actually done something about it, but don't penalize a child and their family. The only family she knows!
They should have to pay a big juicy fine, which does not take any child's trauma, but just like they can and do fine people, big time, they too should not be immune to such treatment. Then they would make it more of a priority. All the sudden it would be important to get the stupid inspection done ON TIME.
I cannot believe they wouldn't just grant a temporary extension or exemption to this family, for their own tardiness. Not the family's fault. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
You can tell he's a good father with how the children interact with him. He loves them like they're his natural born children.
This infuriates me. 😡 All because the fire department put this off, that's exactly what they did!! Then, used the excuse for not showing up "your address is not in our district." THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT FROM THE START!! LAZINESS!!! Now 3 children are traumatized and they don't give a crap about it!!!
@overit6969
You are absolutely on spot.. Plus it is on cost of the soul of this young child. Not to mention her brother and sister.. All prof. psychologists know: this is the damage you want to avoid in first place - . The three siblings - in my opinion from another country - on this matter is: There is no other evidence for the well being of this child Bella: She has to stay in the family - in her care home - together with her siblings! Other decision is irresponsable. Anything else as far as I can see, causes unnesseccary drama! Peter should stop this by urgent court desicion. It is obvious: seperation will damage Bella. Hope Peter does not accept this. He has a good chance getting Bella back home!
Because the desicion was not made in favour of the child. It was made in the interesst of burocracy. BUT the childs interesst comes first !!!
Also in my country Germany. There is no evidence why Bella should go through this. What looks wrong, short sided missguided order - is exactly so. This child in her best interesst has to stay where she is now!
Please consider a lawyer Peter and stop the damage to Bellas soul!
I am sure, this can be overthrown by evidence from your local court.
Foster care should be about avoiding damage/drama! Here is the way. Please consider a lawyer Peter! Bella has to stay where she feels home and safe! Adress mistake - to late - not relevant anymore -. Argument : Avoid trauma for Bella in her best interesst. A missing paper - does not justify taking a small child away from her siblings and care father family! The desicion based on burocracy reasons should be overthrown and stopped - immediately!
All best wishes ❤
@andreaelisabethlotz1209 It will be stopped once the lazy fire department comes out and does the inspection he needs to have his foster care license renewed! He's been trying to get them out to do the inspection for 4 weeks now. They know what it is for!! Then they set up a date to come out and they did not show up or call! He called them asking if they are coming to do the inspection. That's when he was told by them that his address in not in their district!! This is unacceptable behavior from the fire department!! Their lack of caring is disgusting and has caused trauma to these children and disrupted that whole house hold do NO GOOD reason!! If this was one of their loved ones, you can guarantee it would have been done in the first week of asking!!! 😡
THEY should be fined for that!!!
Not FD fault…inspection request was sent to city FD and the house is not in the city. County FD is responding quickly to the new (correct) request.
@@Maggies87The fire dept. should have known that from the start and proactively redirected him
To the county.
You should call the attorney general in your state asap and explain what’s happening. They need better laws so it doesn’t happen again.
agreed!
YES THIS! And your congress representatives
Hang in there daddy, hopefully your baby will be back.
Call your representatives.
YES, and look how many people know about this --- over 20,000!!!! SHAME ON THEM! THAT ALONE should make them correct this ASAP WITHOUT the child being traumatized!!!
As a disabled firefighter
I apologize for the bs you are going through.
Maybe if someone took their children away from what they knew for 2 weeks they would think differently!
Praying for you all
This poor child is the one who is affected the most
Absolutely a disgrace on the Fire Department! They had ample time as well as understanding a toddler was going to be removed from their home if inspection wasn’t completed. Inexcusable!
I wonder did he try calling proper officials to see if they could assist him in getting it done faster.
He said he was calling and calling and calling. I'm sure he did everything he could to keep her with him.
@@lisam2496 I think you misread. It’s inexcusable The Fire Department didn’t do the inspection though they had a reasonable time frame. Peter did do everything he could!
@@kathleenobrien8502She did not misread anything, she replied to @lindywheeler4192 question about calling 😉
Fire department is racist
"You already adopted us, so we don't have to go? " 😢 💔
You can tell that you mean the world to them and are so loved. And I'm so glad Bella will be back soon. 💓
this is so sad though too it has to make them feel insecure...
Peter you are amazing. I am in a situation that is different but similar in it being out of my hands. 😢❤
Mr Peter don't let go of this little girl, you're all she got.
Well he didn’t really have a choice thanks to the fire department. If he refused to let her go then he could go to prison and be stopped from ever fostering her again.
I can’t imagine what this precious baby girl is thinking.
As the wife of a firefighter, this hurts my heart. He is a boss where he works and I would have him at your house the next day!
Can't you help him
@grannylpz I don't live in the same state. In my area if this happened, I would 100% help!
@@lsansing1783 God bless you
Same my father in law is actually firefighter and a cop and emt .!!! I will definitely find out if there's a way to speed this up !
So YOU are the boss!
I'm so angry that this child's life wasn't a priority for a department that is largely tasked with saving lives. The incompetence and indifference makes you worry about public safety.
😢 This government should be ashamed. Taking the little girl out of your family, where she is sheltered and well, will break her little heart 😥
No child should go through this God have mercy
This is outrageous!!!! 😡 Treating a child like a pawn in a game! This is child abuse and the child protection agency should do whatever is in their power to keep her safe and secure where she is! It’s called an extension! There should be exceptions when the fire dept isn’t willing to work with him! This is unnecessary trauma. Unbelievable 😞
Surely they realize it's more harm to let her go than stay. Surely they could have allowed a temporary extension. Surely they could have called the Fire department and move things along.....
Agree 😢 so damaging for poor wee Emma (Bella).
This is an absolute disgrace to that fire department!! Some of those people in the fire department must be parents , don't they see the damage to this child ...to this family? And I agree with the other comment can an allowance an extension be made you're clearly a good and caring man
Update?
So unnecessary trauma and sadness for everybody😢
That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking! This is traumatic for her. Horrible.
Yah I'm.not understanding why the Caseworker didn't "turn her cheek" to this and let him handle what he had too,he's obviously a great Father and the Fire department could have handled it better.I hope she's okay
💔💔💔 it's so wrong to traumatize a child, and the entire family, because someone in a position of authority didn't do their job in a timely manner!! I hope she is back home where she belongs soon!
I hope she gets back home asap. This is so sad. This fire department should b ashamed.
They had better put a SUPER RUSH on this because this is so public and you have the support of over 20,000 people!!!!!!
I hope those responsible for not doing the inspection on time watch this video and feel ashamed for making this happen. So sorry this happened. Glad Bella will be back!
They don't care. Its an agency like the government, they want your money now, but when its time for them to earn that money they suddenly don't have the time.
Nice ⭐ job
I wonder if whoever the slacker paperpusher is would like their 2 year old taken away for some minor bureacratic reason?
There are a lot people out there who feel no shame for anything.
Welcome
Absolutely disgraceful of the system!
My husband is a detective in Los Angeles.. he himself has had to find a foster child who the system had lost.. literally stated
“ya we don’t know where we placed them..” (just one example, happens often)
but you simply lapsed on a piece of paper?! Insane!!
The cps system needs to be held accountable and a complete overhaul .. they literally place children in danger & cause emotional trauma after removing from wonderful, safe, loving homes time and time again… then we hear about it on the news.
🙏🏻 this gets cleared up quickly for your family.. especially this precious little girl ❤
Even the dog was sad. This is a disgrace. Shows how much the government cares about children
This is disgraceful that the fire department will not commit to an appointment 😮
I know! What’s up with that? I wish they had called the mayor for an emergency call so the paperwork could be delayed. So I hope they don’t send her to a home that will mistreat her. I really don’t know why every CPS across the country is not getting an updated system. It makes no sense to me that they are going to take her from a loving home to one that may hurt her. Do something government!
The fire department didn’t even let him know that they weren’t coming to the appointment.
How Very Unprofessional
Absolutely disgusting of them
They don't have time. They've got to cook their steaks and workout.
So instead of giving you an extension to get your license back active, they’re just gonna cause more trauma in this child’s life, rip her out of your home and put her in a strangers home, I’m sorry, but that makes absolutely no sense!!!
Well said, I felt exactly the same. This is outragous!!!
The foster system is beyond messed up, and never changes, it just gets worth with time and government related agencies involved in it.
That's the system... It's insane. We had grandkids, and "dealt" with two different counties -
Or, more accurately - they'd call US when they needed something, and ignored us anytime we had questions, or needed permission to travel, get special permission for after are since (was my husbands granddaughter) had a heart condition (so we didn't for 2.5 years, and she couldn't go to after school care for 2 hours, so we had to cut out work days short and ultimately our storefront closed...)
The system is so broken, and they don't support the foster parents or families who take the kids in. I love that Peter is real about it, but honestly it's a nightmare with all the red tape - they don't care about the kids, or their mental health at the end of the day - it's about the paperwork.
The system is beyond broken!!!
Yep. Enough that I want to make some phone calls but won't for Peters sake. I don't think I would stay level headed on the phone
Look how secure of a foundation you have already provided for your little ones. They absolutely trust that it will be ok.
Outrageous! I hope the department fully understands the trauma involved for these children. This is UNACCEPTABLE!!!
I feel so badly for Bella and everyone because the fire department sat on the paperwork for months
Not surprised, when it comes to agencies like that its very common, and no they aren't busy, and no it don't take long to do the paperwork LOL.
It's infuriating that they would sit on paperwork causing dismay in a child's already hard life. We got to do better ppl💯💯
Government messes everything up. There should be some sort of extension approval, especially when the falt with the government. What an absolutely unnecessary stressful situation, all because the government can't find it's way out of a wet paperbag. What a blessed family ya'll are. ❤🙏❤ Come home soon Bella to your sweet loving family. 🥰
Just imagine it’s literally “sitting on someone’s desk.” They can do something but they won’t, they “can’t” - if it was someone with connections that inquired, this wouldn’t happen. That’s what’s messed up, we aren’t all equal.
This would NEVER happen in NZ!
I am shocked how easily officials can mess kids about, kids that already have a rocky past, children’s services should have stepped in and prevented that from happening, shame on them😡
I agree
Both the child service and the fire department. Mindless people...
Fire Department should be ashamed of themselves 😢
The foster care agency should have helped resolve this prior to this family being traumatized. Props to dad for handling a very difficult situation with TLC. I love how everything was explained to all of the children and they were given an opportunity to discuss their feelings. Unfortunately, little Bella may be too young to verbalize her feelings, but dad was wise enough to know how much this impacted all of his children. This seems like such a loving family. I hope Bella finds her way back home soon!
This is absolutely disgusting of the fire department. Shame on them. I hope they find out what a disgraceful thing they did.
I’m glad that Bella will be coming back. She has grown so much right before our eyes. She is so precious. 💝
He needs to adopt her ASAP! I pray that God will keep her with this family always, permanently.
I don’t believe she’s eligible for adoption just yet.
Also adoption is expensive
This is outrageous. The well-being of the children is paramount. How could they do such a thing? Best wishes to all of you.
THAT really irritates me!! As usual anything taxpayer funded takes their good natured time! That LAZY fire department waited until THE LAST DAY to tell you this??? HOW DARE they hurt that kid even MORE!!!!
They are lazy. My brother-in-law works for the fire department and they have gotten too used to just hanging out all day, cooking meals and working out. The Boston Globe did a piece on this several years ago, stating that due to advances in fire suppression, fires have dropped by over 90% over the last several decades and that there really isn't a need for a paid fire dept. So instead, they have moved in on the EMS depts territory and are taking over their jobs and responding to car accidents, injuries, etc.
@@EarthStudent7thanks for the info. I wondered why a big firetruck came to the scene of a two car accident.
@@terirobinson3616 Exactly. And the kicker too is the fact that the get to retire as long as they've given 25 years. Many retire at age 50 and then get a nice pension to live out the next several decades on the tax payers dime. But, we can't question any of that because they are part of the "hero" club and deserve our worship. I joke about this with my brother-in-law all the time and he readily admits that if people really knew the truth of how much waste goes on with spending for fire depts., there would be no more paid fire depts. At a minimum, we wouldn't be supporting their inflated pensions.
As a former foster child, it breaks my heart that the system messes you around.
This baby needs him to be her forever dad! I really hope he can adopt her soon
As a former foster parent it is both heartbreaking and infuriating that the government is willing to do both short-term and long-term emotional harm to children in situations like this. Every foster parent I know who has been in a similar situation would have gladly gone without a few weeks worth of the very low financial stipend if it meant preventing a trauma like this.
Drive over to the fire department with all the kids and ask them to come pleeeezze!!!!! Inspections don't they know it's an EMERGENCY!!!!! I am crying right now Adults are running the show and this is awful!
You can clearly see that Bella adores Peter, and she is too young to fully comprehend what's going on in this situation, which easily could've and should've been prevented if the fire dept. had done their job. Shaking my head here that someone there obviously dropped the ball. I'm praying Bella returns very soon to the only safe haven and home she really knows. I could not stop crying at the end.
This is unfair to the child, it's crazy, causing unnecessary further trauma and for no good reason! How horrible for that little one, it is clear to see how much she loves you and is attached to you. I am crying here for her
I can’t believe how bureaucratic processes are so irresponsible 😱😱 traumatising families!!!
The absolute fear I see in their eyes until they realized they couldn’t also be taken away was heartbreaking 😢. All this trauma…and it could have been avoided if the fire department had done their part. Poor little Bella, I hope she is back soon and I am praying that she is safe until she returns.
This news absolutely breaks me, growing up in Foster care myself it brings me to tears, i wasnt as lucky, i was moved from place to place all the time, i never had the opprotunity to have any real family anywhere, im 64 years old now but when you spoke of traumatized children, i was one of them. Then when i turned 18 i was put out on the streets with no aid, no family and no idea what to do, and i wasnt able to keep anything that was given to me except the clothes on my back. Im absolutely broken over this. These experiences this child is going through is something these children will never outgrow. You sir are someone we need more of in this world believe me. These are memories that will be with Bella forever. Im soo so sorry she and your other children are going through all of this.
As a former foster kid I cant watch this one 😢Nothing more painful then being torn away from people you actually know care for you again and again and again and not sure if the next place you go will hurt you again and again. Bless you for being so kind ❤
I wish this man had been my Dad. So much abuse in my childhood caused me to wish I could go anywhere else. All has been forgiven now but I was so messed up in certain ways for a long time. What a wonderful man 🩵🩵🩵
These kids are so well adjusted with him when he’s telling them I can tell they love him and they trust him and they love their sister how much they care for her you can tell
This is total B.S. !!!! Don't they know how traumatic that will be for Bella. I remember when i was around pre-k and had to stay in the hospital overnight, I was so scared. Shame on you NC.
It’s important that you told Bella’s story. You reminded us all that every single child is loved and deserves a home and loved ones around them.
This must have been very traumatic for all of you 😥
When Bella reached out her hands it was heart wrenching😢😢😢
It is absolutely heartbreaking and infuriating that due to this kind of bureaucracy kids get unnecessarily traumatized.
How could the fire department be so negligent? Absolutely horrible. My heart hurts for all of you.
I love how you choose to prepare your children for the rocky roads in life. I hope Bella comes back soon and that you can adopt her as well. Your kids are beautiful, they have so much compassion.
Sorry, she is leaving her brother and sister. Good thing when the paperwork is fixed, she can come back
When Like said "we're already adopted and don't have to leave you right? You won't give us away?", I just started crying. The sadness on their faces broke my heart like I'm a way that I've never felt before. I hope Bella returns home with her family soon.
I just love how everyone is caring towards you all. The system keeps failing these children
As a former foster kid many decades ago, i remember my foster mom being heart broken for losing a beautiful 4 year old named Nina..can't help but wonder how she fared.
The system IS broken, but thankfully, there are people like you trying to make a positive difference. I hope to see Bella back with her family soon. Those poor babies of yours have been through so much, and you have handled everything so beautifully. I'm not sure I could have as much grace. You're a great father, Peter.
I am livid over this! If the FD does not fulfill their obligations in a timely manner, call the mayor and let them know. If it is a county, call the PTB and let them know. This is outrageous that they caused this poor little girl to be placed somewhere without those who love her for no valid reason. I won't be able to sleep until she is back in your home.
I pray you have her back. She needs you
The emotional stress they put on that child is outrageous give her back she was happy and thriving there
You can do your paperwork anytime any where the child dosent have to be relocated whilr you do your job
Horrible you and your family and Bella have to go through this! Shame on the fire department for not taking this request seriously. I hope they see this
Oh no 😢
Why didn't the fire department not take care of this before now??
Another horrifying thing these kids have to go through.
SHAME ON THEM!!
If Dad hasn't already done this --
PLEASE call or visit local radio or stations or newspapers. There are many journalists who LOVE a good public interest story, especially one that could be 'easily' resolved with the intervention of someone higher up the fire department food chain
Im hoping and praying for you
🤞🏼🙏🏼🤞🏼💞
Yes! In my area they'd be all over this. They'd be outraged at this and have the team the send for the Hall of Shame out there immediately
This should be brought before the city counsel - this is ridiculous .. you and the kids go through enough, and this extra stress is not needed. I'm so sorry Peter.. at least you know she will be back!
This is outrageous! I'd be fumming if they took a kid out of my home, re-traumatizing her and her siblings, for a piece of paper! I hope the fire department shows up soon so you can get her back quickly!
What made me sad was to see Bella's older sister drop her head when she heard that she would be gone before she returned from school
I can t even Watch It. So Sorry for that Little girl.
Our foster system is so messed up. This is so traumatizing for the child to have another placement for a few days or even a week just for paperwork when you've been licensed all these years.
Give us the name and phone number of that fire department! They will get their butts together once we all call and tell them to do their jobs! This is totally not acceptable because it involves serious trauma to a toddler who is being removed from her loving family. Even a day away from her dad and siblings is too long for a toddler... And her siblings.
I am so sorry you have gone through this. This is so wrong. I hope you all manage to keep going. I was a foster child in care, and being moved is so stressful. The child feels out of control. You also feel very alone, I didn't sleep well and started biting my nails. As a teen, i had an eating disorder and had no trust in anyone. Kids are resilient but also suffer silently. I pray you all are reunited asap. 🙏
The fire department makes me so angry. All the trauma could of been avoided if they had done their job. Unbelievable. God willing you will get Bella back ASAP!
I hope someone with the power to change this situation for Bella watches this video, fixes this and Bella can come home 😢
The fire department also has the duty to make those inspections on schedule in the most timely manner. It seems that your city fire department could have let you know immediately that you needed the county fire department inspect your home. It wouldn't have been that much time and effort do so.
You would think the case worker would have been all over you to get your license renewed this is so sad I hope you get there sister back soon it's heartbreaking prayers going out to them all
Foster children all over America get the shaft and get moved around a lot. Praying for this girls safety.
It amazes me how the system can be so hindering over small stuff but not available to the children that need it most.
Poor Isabella looks deeply troubled 😅😭😭😭
Yeah. It's pulpable. I hope she'll be okay. I know they see a therapist. I hope they can help her sort these feelings. It might be some PTSD from her past, too. I'm so sorry to see this.
I can't hold my tears to see her go 😢
This is soo sad, can’t stop crying for Bella. Imagine going into a house she don’t know anyone there and having to sleep without her siblings and dad.😢😢😢 this is so sad. Let’s pray that Bella is back with Peter soon and he gets to adopt her permanently. He is all she knows, he had her from a baby
That's her sister, I can only imagine their bond, and now Isabelle will be the only girl at home without her sister, only because of a minor mishap their whole life is turned upside down 😢 When will the system realize they are inflicting trauma as well?
“My little one…my child.” My heart is breaking for you all.
This made me so sad. God, protect these precious children’s hearts. And their sweet Daddy too.
I hope she’s able to come home soon. It’s very hard on everyone, but especially the child that won’t realize she isn’t going home. She’s very young and won’t understand why she can’t go home. My heart is 💔 for her.
Oooofff, Luke, instantly thought he'd have to leave....you know he's got a lot of trauma with having to leave or be left somewhere....
TEARS TEARS TEARS.....as a mother this tore at my heart....this is hard for young children to be established than ripped away....because of one inspection....it is confusing for them....God Bless you and prayers your way for a quick turn around....
You did a GREAT job caring for her through the entire situation. Wow❤
Omgosh who cried through this whole video? I kinshipped my nephew. I do know the ups downs and heartaches this causes.
Yep. I did.
Isabella's face made me cry. So much going on inside her, big sister concern, fear, 😭😭😭
This is just not right!!!
Thank you for showing us this side of fostering too. It's important that we see this from the inside. I admire the way you start calm and strong and showing emotion too. Thank you for being you ❤
So heartbreaking...I hope everthing works out quickly...❤❤❤❤❤
All I can say it’s that I hope everyone reading this will pray for Bella’s safety while she is gone. And also for the fire department to get their act together.
